As I Stood there on that mountain
Watching and waiting for the Lord
Wanting so much just to find Him
I needed refuge in His word
A wind with force I'd never seen
Tore the mountains and shattered stones
But the Lord wasn't in the wind
I felt confused and all alone
Then the earth began to tremble
The ground really started to shake
As I watched I was so hopeful
But the Lord wasn't in the quake
Soon a consuming fire came
I thought I'd find Him in that blaze
But the Lord wasn't in the flame
I almost gave up on my faith
Then I heard His gentle whisper
And there I met Him face to face
Finally in that soft sweet whisper
His glory overwhelmed that place
Oh why did I not notice, and why could I not see
In that powerful wind, earthquake and flame
Through it all, You were right beside me
Now I listen for His Whisper
And then I meet Him face to face
And in that soft sweet whisper
His glory overwhelms this place
Oh Lord, help me remember, and Lord, help me to see
In that powerful wind, earthquake and flame
Throught it all You are right beside me
In that powerful wind, earthquake and flame
Through it all You are right beside me
